Additional Message from the Arc NC

Earlier today, you should have received a Policy Partners email outlining why North Carolina Should Slow Down Managed Care Implementation. It will take the combined efforts of our members and allies to get the General Assembly and the Administration to listen. That's why we are asking you to:

TAKE ACTION TODAY!

We need you to tell your story to the decision makers in state government about how changing to a Managed Care system has affected you or will affect you, making sure to tell them:

• North Carolina needs to Slow Down Managed Care Implementation Until They Get It Right!
   
• Restore Case Management to People With Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities!
   
• Require that Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) prove that they are prepared to manage the new system effectively before they can move forward
